Amahubo 61

1 Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

2 Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngizakhala kuwe, inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakemeyo kulami.

From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.

3 Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.

For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

4 Ngizahlala ethenteni lakho kuze kube nininini, ngiphephele kungubudo yempiko zakho. (Sela)

I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, uzwile izifungo zami, wanginika ilifa labesaba ibizo lakho.

For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

6 Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

7 Kayihlale phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube nininini; umise umusa leqiniso, ukuze kuyilondoloze.

Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

8 Ngalokho ngizahlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho kuze kube nininini, ukuze ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.

So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
